    If the MOO was started by one UNIX account and the directory is now not
    writable by that account, then that's your problem.  Change the permissions on
    the directory to be writable by the account under which the server is running,
    checkpoint and/or shut down the server, and then restart the server under the
    same account as owns the directory.
